NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.
Tho Commands Are Receiving Many
Recruits to Their Ranks.


Recruits to Their Ranks.
The battalion drill last night Of the Sd
battalion, comprising the Continentals,
Capt. Mills; the Columbia Rifles, Capt.
Poston; the Washington Merchants Rifles,
Capt Costlnett, and the Emmett Guards,
Capt. Murphy, was decided success.
Capt Mills drilled the battalion, which
numbered about 125 officers and men. The
various evolutions were witnessed by a
large crowd Of people, who did not fail to
applaud the companies when well executed
movements were made. Gen. Ordway was
expected to witness the drill, and also mus
ter in a number OF recruits for the CONT
nentals and Merchants' Rifles. His ab-
sence, II was learned later, was uusyold-
able.
The Washington Light Infantry Is making
wonderful strides in filling up its ranks,
and every night applications are being re-
cCiyed. There are now about thirty await.
ing to be sworn In, aud large list of appli-
cations to be ncted on.
The Marion Rifles aud Washington Xou-
aves are doing splendldly, and will soon be
mustered In. The interest In the National
Guard is uuabated, and word comes from
nearly all the commanding officers that they
are being oyerrun with applications.
The talk Of the proposed German bat
talon is heard ON all sides, and the mem-
bers OF the 9Th battalion, District Noluu-
teers, are taking active interest in It. A very
prominent local bandmaster has offered TO
form large band for the National Guard
and has rendered his services to Gen. Ord
way. He proposes to form band Of forty
or more pieces and OF the best material.
Gen. Ordway's suggestions about the for
nation OF a Calling gun company of wheel
men and comgany of cavalry are being
widely talked OF and likely will be consum-
mated at an early date.
